Emperor Yang of Sui decided to withdraw as soon as possible, because he felt very unsafe in Liaodong City, and there was always a danger of being besieged and blocked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The army rested for the night, and the next morning, hundreds of thousands of troops left Liaodong City and returned to the land of western Liaoxi, where the grasslands, mountains and forests were dense, and inhabited by Khitan, Xi, Murowei, Xianbei and other ethnic minorities.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did not stop, and continued to rush to Beiping County, after passing the Linyu Pass, it was the territory of the Great Sui, so he was relieved.

A lot of the people of Liaodong City were swept away, making the huge city become a lonely city, and the people who migrated were all settled in the county of Beiping County.

This time the invasion of Liaodong failed, and Emperor Yang of Sui was disgraced, but he did not give up, but felt that he would send troops in the spring of next year, and the time would be extended and the troops would increase, and he would definitely be able to conquer Pyongyang, conquer Goguryeo, and bow down to his vassals.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty issued an edict to place the hundreds of thousands of troops who came back alive in Beiping, Yuyang, and Zhuojun, set up camp, strengthen training and formation drills, and after a few months, they would re-attack Liaodong.

Due to the defeat of this campaign, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty also realized that the current government military system is too conservative and rigid, and the people joined the army, but they have no combat effectiveness, because the Great Sui has been peaceful for a long time, and the local government and military offices are often the integration of soldiers and farmers, and the soldiers have been accustomed to cultivating the land and are tired of war.

Pei Ju played and asked Emperor Yang of Sui to re-recruit troops to form a strong army and improve combat effectiveness, instead of withdrawing those militia soldiers from all over the country.

This suggestion was adopted by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, so as soon as he returned to Luoyang, Yang Guang issued an edict to set up a Xiaoguo Wei outside the capital, which was subordinate to the left and right reserve mansions, and placed the left and right Xiongwu Lang generals, and the official position was half a level higher than that of the Ying Yang Lang generals in various places.

Although it still belongs to the sixteen guards, it is still not a government military system, but a recruitment system, which does not need to farm and enlist in the army, but recruits warriors from all over the country to form an army near the capital, regardless of household registration and region.

Heroes and heroes from all over the world, who know some fist and foot kung fu, swords, guns and swordsmanship, have come from thousands of miles to join Xiaoguo Weizhong, because the army does not look at their background, only bravery, and is completely a team assembled for battle.

Luo Zhaoyun did not follow back to Luoyang, but continued to stay in Zhuo County, supervising the manufacture of weapons, and preparing for the second expedition to Liaodong next year.

He had a premonition that the Great Sui's qi was about to run out, because he had seen from the intelligence he had received from various places that many of the remnants of the previous dynasty and the local rebels were all ready to move, and the disasters in all directions were increasing, and the people were suffering.

Due to the mobilization of millions of lions in the first conquest, the demand for grain and grass and transportation were a major difficulty.

For example, Shandong Minfu transported rice to Luhe and Huaiyuan two towns, and the carts and cattle were not reversed, and more than half of the soldiers died. The same is true for the ships of the people south of the Jianghuai River in Liyang and Luokou Zhucang, and the transporters died due to fatigue, and the corpses were everywhere along the way. There are also hundreds of thousands of chauffeurs in Shuofang, escorting grain and grass, because the truth is rugged and the consumption is huge, and after the final delivery, it is only one-third of the original number, and they flee in fear of crime.

A large number of fields were barren, people were displaced, and they fled to the mountains and old forests for refuge, the society was depressed, and the people were uneasy.

This year, there were major floods in Shandong and Henan, and under the heavy labor and famine, the government did not provide relief, but forced them, and some people have already rebelled.

Wang Bo, a native of Zouping, gathered in Changbai Mountain, took the lead in raising the anti-Sui banner, calling himself 'Zhishilang', and wrote "The Song of the Death of the Waves of Liaodong without Direction" to take this as a call, gathering a large number of fleeing people and soldiers who fled back from the front line.

Luo Zhaoyun sighed lightly: Da Sui is really going to end.

………

The snow was falling, but after receiving the edict from the imperial court, the counties began to gather warriors to enlist in the army, and they wanted to push to the imperial court and join Xiaoguowei.

Zhangnan County.

A man in the prime of life, with a Chinese face, a beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tall figure, holding a sheathed sword in his hand, walked on the streets of the county seat, because of his brave martial skills in the county is very famous, he was co-opted by the county order, promised him the post of 200 commanders, and in a few days, let him take the people gathered in the county to the place of the Xiaoguowei garrison outside the capital.

This person is none other than Dou Jiande!

He was about to go to the county government to report, when a man suddenly appeared on the street, dressed in rags, and shouted at him: "Brother Dou, you made me look for it so hard!" ”

Dou Jiande turned to look, stunned for a moment, and stunned: "Anzu, why are you here?" ”

It turned out that this embarrassed person was his close friend in the same county, a sworn brother, Sun Anzu.

"Brother Dou, this is not the place to speak, can you take a step to speak!"

Dou Jiande nodded, took Sun Anzu out of the street, and came to a restaurant and private room, Sun Anzu told his experience, it turned out that his town was flooded, his house and property were washed away by the flood, and his wife and children died of hunger, but the officials sent by the county order took a fancy to Sun Anzu's courage and also selected him into the team. Sun Anzu was reluctant to enlist in the army on the grounds of family poverty, and told the official face to face, but the conscription officer lost his temper and beat him severely, Sun Anzu was angry, killed the conscription officers, and fled to Dou Jiande.

"This matter, trouble."

Sun Anzu said: "Brother Dou, now there is chaos in all parts of the Great Sui, we can't send troops for the Great Sui and die in a foreign land." ”

Dou Jiande pondered for a long time and said to Sun Anzu: "During the reign of Emperor Wen, the world was rich and prosperous, and he sent a million men and horses to conquer Liaodong, but he was defeated by Goryeo. This year, there was a flood, the people were poor, but the emperor was not sympathetic to the people's feelings, and wanted to drive the expedition in person, personally went to Liaodong to supervise the war, plus the western expedition in previous years, the damaged vitality has not yet recovered, the people are tired and tired, and they have been fighting for many years, and those who have been away for many years cannot go home, and now they have to send troops, which is easy to cause turmoil. As long as the manly husband does not die, he should make meritorious contributions, how can he be a prisoner who escaped in a hurry, I am familiar with the vast area of Gaojibo for hundreds of miles, and the grass on the lake and marsh is dense and deep, you can go there to hide, find an opportunity to come out and rob, enough to live, savings, after pulling up the people, waiting for the turbulence of the times, you will definitely do an earth-shattering career!
